Rooster_Ties Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Seems like I'm forever stumbling on really bad cover versions of tunes on Youtube. Occasionally something good, or at least interesting, or maybe creative --- but more often than not, REALLY scary bad stuff. You've been warned... Post other stuff you stumble on that's too bad/good not to share. Quote

Rooster_Ties Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Posted October 30, 2006 Who thought this was a good idea?? Madonna, Anthony Kedis (RHCP) - Lady is a Tramp, Arsenio Hall Show Possibly the worst cover of a "standard" I've ever heard. Quote

Madonna, Anthony Kedis (RHCP) - Lady is a Tramp, Arsenio Hall Show Possibly the worst cover of a "standard" I've ever heard. Be thankful it was Kedis and not the idiot bassist who performs nude.

7/4 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 I only made it through about the first three "Di ya ba do dah dah dah" s Couldnt YES take some sort of legal action? Read the comments. Apparently Jon Anderson and Chris Squire liked it. But then both those guys have made some major artistic blunders in the past, so WTF. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Posted October 30, 2006 Gay Disco Pink Floyd (not that there's anything wrong with that. ) Quote

Post other stuff you stumble on that's too bad/good not to share. That was awful. That show was awful. Forgive me for not having cable until the mid-90s, but what the hell was KIDS Incorporated? Because there is an awful lot of awful stuff on YouTube from that show. Some of it just crappy, but some of it downright frightening, like this clip: Quote
.:.impossible Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 The first one was a kid. He didn't know what he was doing. He can be forgiven... something about show choir ANYTHING just pisses me off. Those people HAVE to know how corny they are. No way anyone is that clueless. Makes me think I hate people. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 "Show Choirs" are the new marching bands. A whole bunch of work by a whole bunch of people for really crappy results. Quote

No wonder so many people are afraid of clowns. Quote
.:.impossible Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Here's a good cover. Excellent footage as well. Just, featuring the Dap horns. All arrangemenst by Mark Ronson Quote
Joe G Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 You can thank Jim and Greg for this one... so bad it must be intentional. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 was that jim's first keyboard gig? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah, and that's GregN on guitar. But that's Joe on bass. He switched after a few years. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) A pretty good cover in my book... Sinead O'Connor - Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home (original by Loretta Lynn, I believe) The above was live on SNL. The video for the studio version is as follows, Edited October 31, 2006 by Rooster_Ties Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Posted October 31, 2006 Another pretty good one in my book... half of REM plus half of U2 - "One" live 1993 (Stipe on vocals, no Bono) Quote
